Sleep in Aotearoa 2026

The Sleep in Aotearoa 2026 conference is the annual scientific meeting organized by the New Zealand Branch of the Australasian Sleep Association (ASA). This event is designed to bring together clinicians, researchers, and allied health professionals who are dedicated to advancing the science and practice of sleep medicine. Held at the stylish Naumi Hotel in Wellington, the conference offers a vibrant setting for two full days of learning, networking, and professional development.

Participants can expect a dynamic programme featuring keynote lectures, panel discussions, and presentations that highlight both current issues in sleep medicine and the latest local research. Topics will likely span across insomnia, sleep apnoea, circadian rhythm disorders, pediatric sleep health, and innovations in sleep technology. The event is not only academic but also social, with on-site catering, exhibitor showcases, and a conference dinner on 18 June that provides an excellent opportunity to connect with colleagues and strengthen professional networks.

Accommodation options are conveniently available at the Naumi Hotel and Naumi Studio, both located in central Wellington, ensuring easy access to shops, eateries, and cultural attractions. This makes the event particularly appealing for both domestic and international attendees who wish to combine professional development with leisure.

The Sleep in Aotearoa series has become a cornerstone of sleep medicine in New Zealand, offering a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration. Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge research, practical clinical strategies, and policy discussions that shape the future of sleep health. With registrations opening in early 2026, professionals are encouraged to mark their calendars and prepare for an enriching experience that blends science, practice, and community.
